Buying & applying a license
- Buy an annual Enterprise subscription on the pricing page. You’ll receive a signed license key by email.
- Apply it one of three ways:
- Installer: pass
--license-key <jwt|file>to the install command (or answer the wizard’s license step). The key is verified offline before anything is written and lands in the generated.env. You can also check a key any time without installing:curl -fsSL https://nugetkeep.com/install | bash -s -- license <key-or-file>prints the edition, customer, and expiry. - Admin UI: Administration → License → paste the key → Activate. Features unlock immediately, no restart.
- Environment: set
NUGETKEEP_LICENSE_KEYto the key (this wins over the UI and is read-only there) — ideal for declarative / air-gapped deploys.
- Installer: pass
- Confirm: the License page shows Enterprise, the five premium features show Unlocked, and the “Community edition” banner disappears.
Renewals email you a new key each year; paste the new key the same way. The key is stored at
NuGetKeep:LicensePath (default /data/license.jwt) when applied via the UI.
